WahooWA!!

I don’t CARE that Carolina is having an off year; going into the DeanDome and handing the defending NCAA champs a smackdown is a beautiful thing. This team was picked for dead-last in the ACC, and they abused the Tar Heels. How sweet it is!
Two Choices in the Life Debate
January 29, 2010
Scott Roeder, heinous murderer, was rightly convicted of Murder One today. I’d have voted for conviction, without giving it a second thought.
And it’s interesting: there are two positions when it comes to the sanctity of life. One position holds that it is not acceptable for one person to take the life of another person without the consent of the other person. This is the pro-life position, and I am pro-life. The other position holds that one person ought to have the right to unilaterally choose to end the life of another person without the other person’s consent. This is the “pro-choice” position. People who believe that they ought to have the prerogative to chooose to end the life of an unborn child are labeled pro-choice. Scott Roeder believes that he had the prerogative to choose to end the life of George Tiller.
Ergo, Scott Roeder and abortion supporters are in the same camp. Period.
Krauthammer Nails It
January 25, 2010
Funniest and best point Krauthammer makes is in response to Comrade Obama’s silly sentiment, when he said that Scott Brown was elected “not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.”
Right, says Krauthammer in effect, so let us get this straight: Massachusetts voters are still so ticked at George W. Bush that they elect a Republican senator to Teddy Kennedy’s seat. Priceless.
What I Wrote August 18th
January 25, 2010
“Yes, the Vikings are a better football team with Favre, but principally because their QB situation was woeful pre-Favre, arguably the worst in the NFL. At this point in his never-ending career, he’s not even an average NFL QB. I predict he will come in and win a game or two with his noble gunslinging, and then he’ll lose an easily-winnable game or two by throwing a stupid interception that rookie QBs are taught not to throw. And if the Vikings make the playoffs–it says here they probably won’t–he’ll break the hearts of Viking fans with some stupid play at an inopportune moment.”
Credit where it’s due: he had a much better season than I–or anyone, pretty much–thought he would…but two dumb interceptions today, including “one stupid play at an inopportune moment”, and the Vikings are going home instead of to Miami.
Doubt me in the future at your own risk…
I’m NOT Anti-Abortion; I’m Pro-Life
January 22, 2010
And there is a difference.
It would seem that there’s no better day that this to make that distinction, for today, two disparate events are taking place. One is the annual March for Life in D.C., this on the 37th anniversary of the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade decision, an exercise of raw judicial overreach that accelerated, rather than settled, the angst attending the question of abortion in this country. The other event is the beginning of the trial of a cold-blooded murderer named Scott Roeder, a monster who murdered a monster, Dr. George Tiller, aka “Tiller the Killer”, one of the nation’s most abominable abortion doctors, who regularly and with apparently no conscience snuffed out late-term pregnancies.
Scott Roeder is anti-abortion. He is not pro-life. I am pro-life, not anti-abortion.
What am I saying, and why does this matter? What I am saying is that Scott Roeder is not on my team. Period. Nor is anybody who would advocate or justify the murder of another human being. A pro-life person cannot, by definition, do what Scott Roeder did, but an anti-abortion person can. I’ve said this for years, and believe it as strongly today as I ever have, if not more so.
Why does it matter? It matters because the mainstream media demonstrates its bias at exactly this point. Question, class: what term is used by the MSM for folks like me? If you listen, it’s clear and consistent: they call me, and people like me, “anti-abortion”—even though this is not the term that people in my camp choose for ourselves. Interestingly—and not surprisingly, given the MSM’s disregard for accuracy or fairness—the other side of the coin, which I’d call “pro-abortion”, is called “pro-choice” by the MSM. That is the term that the other side wishes to be known by. Reiterating, those on our side of the fence cannot be termed, in the MSM, by the term we choose, but the other side can. Hey, there’s fairness in media!
But the bigger point is this: in labeling me (incorrectly) “anti-abortion”, I am lumped in with murderers like Scott Roeder and the nutjobs who support, encourage, and vindicate them. And Scott Roeder is not on the team. And if justice prevails, he will, at the very least, spend the rest of this earthly life behind bars, after which he can explain to his Maker exactly what convoluted reasoning he employed to justify his heinous act.
A Moment of Mourning, Y’all
January 21, 2010
I’m sorry, were they still operating? On what, 11 channels with 138 listeners total or something?
And the amazing thing is, liberals won’t learn from this (witness the blame-shifting in the article; it’s “the economy”…snicker, snicker); they are so out-of-touch and tone-deaf to the American public that they won’t realize what should be obvious: liberal programming doesn’t work because people instinctively know a good, logical argument based on reason when they see one–and “arguments” based on mushy feelings, ad hominem attacks, and name-calling get old real fast.
This phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.
